After 3 years, still my go to spot for a special gift or cards…read more Great options especially for a shower gift or for a little one's birthday. The staff will gladly wrap your gift for you and it is always just perfect. They have even shipped for me to save me a trip to UPS. I seem to get so lost in all the whimsy of it and wish I could take one of everything home for myself. The owner and the staff have curated a beautifully packed full true specialty store with items that are very reasonably priced. So the next time you need something a little extra special go visit Fable.

This gift shop is hands down the best in Charlotte! I They have an adult side & a children's side…read more They have items from lots of foreign designers that you won't find anywhere else. The whole store is beautifully displayed with a mix of books, art, candles, jewelry & home decorations for the adults. The children's side has adorable clothing, toys, books & unique collections any child would love. The owner is often there & she is charming. I love the unique selection here. It's a treasure!

While I'm familiar with the Blakeney Shopping Center, I made my way into Creative by Nature for the…read morefirst time last week. I was a little apprehensive, even though i live and breathe design oriented stores. Just walking in made my adrenaline flow! I saw brands that i know and love and an eclectic bunch of accessories and "chotchkies" that make the store stand out from everyone else! The owners are brilliant with their buying and merchandising expertise and I'm now in love! The store fits in perfectly with the Blakeney vibe and demographic and I hope they grow and prosper for many years to come. What a pleasure it was to see such a beautiful shop and meet and work with some of the friendliest and most welcoming staff. I will be back, for sure!!!!

This is the southern Knick knack shop. You basically can find anything here cups, clothes, jewelry…read moredrink mixes, etc. it reminds me of all the little shops that they have in Tennessee. I wasn't greeted when I entered. I was in thanked for my purchase not even a smile. Came on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't busy .This was the first time that I've seen it open since I've been through the area. The hours supposed to be limited. The prices are a little steep. All three drink mixes they were $12 for being there around four dollars each drink mix you can get a whole pack for $12 on Amazon. They do not print receipts and ask for your phone number or email. I hope their system or secure information can be hacked. Hope if you share you do not get a bunch of spam texts and emails just to get a text receipt. Hope your shopping experience ends better than mine.

Christie's is about as good as it gets when searching for antiques. The owner seems to run the shop…read moreherself - I've never seen anyone else working in here. As such the hours are a bit limited. Really I wouldn't want to talk to anyone else though. This woman knows here stuff. I've browsed the store a time or two and you can really get lost in here. Even if you don't end up buying anything, it's certainly an experience. I see lots of potential for gift shopping here. Prices aren't the best as I imagine many of the items could be purchased online or at a shop more off the beaten path for less. On the flip side of that, the owner will give you a history lesson on practically any item. She is constantly perusing the internet for values with antiques websites and ebay forever open on her computer. It's great that the store isn't limited to a few types of antiques of one particular genre. There's furniture and décor throughout. Old tools, kitchen wares, wooden boxes, music boxes, old-timey pictures and lots of jewelry ranging from costume to gem encrusted gold. Again, if you know someone who likes antiques with a birthday coming up you will easily find something worth buying here.

I want to like gift/stationery stores, I really do. I love to put actual pen to actual paper and…read moreget ink on the paper to form words and sentences. But this place just wasn't interesting for me. If you need stationery or announcements of a personalized nature, I suppose this would be a great place. But if you're just looking for general greeting cards, writing papers, journals or fine pens, there are better places to go. Selection on these items were very limited. And the gift items were so poorly displayed (jumbled on top of one another) that it was difficult ot really appreciate any of it. End result was that it all looked cheap (and I know it wasn't). Doubt if I'll be back.

This part is not just wedding and baby stuff, although it certainly can be. The glasses and serving trays were really pretty and creative. I also liked the unique wrapping paper they had. The ladies who work here are really nice and are really helpful too.

It's overpriced clothing that the brand stores cannot sale. A lot of the clothing is ripped, torn, had broken zippers and other damage. Try it for yourself, but I personally would not visit again.
